Srinivas comments gets me thinking a lot..
He says 80's raja ..Bloody hell..Thats just internet fanboy stuff..
When did he become 80's raja for u music guys..

How would you timestamp thiruvasagam, nan kadavul, sri rama rajyam, Dhoni etc..
Even 20 somethings are writing great posts on his experiments on new genres and stuff like Jazz usage recently etc..

These guys dont listen to ilaiyaraja that often..OMG..and they are in music industry...

and then that ennodu vaa vaa is dated..What does dated mean..again is that a comment from a musician..
I can agree to his stance on Yuvan in musical terms but dated is just a commercial terminology in my opinion..

Suresh,

> who can express what they feel without being constrained by the 'camp' they are in or by political correctness.

I see it the other way. He *is* constrained by the camp he is in. There was simply no reason for ARR reference in his post. Looks out of place and forced.

Anyway, to each, his own

Teja,

That word ARR camp was unnecessary. In fact, Srinivas was a find of Raja and not Rahman. Only thing is that he couldn't sing for Raja on that particular day and got his chance later in Nammavar. If you are going to stamp someone as hailing from ARR camp - just because they are a fan, then the list is going to be quite huge.

Ajay,
Srini is much much more than just a fan of ARR and you know it.

I also found his comment out of place. Simply there was no need for that.

I dont think we should this too much. Obviously he would not like his goodwill with ARR to be hampered in any manner. Even otherwise I dont see that as an issue as he may have included ARR matter of factly. We should appreciate the fact that a singer is openly saying that nobody other than IR could have done such a feat.

Ha ha ..True..
Like somebody said NEPV is not raja's come back..
Its actually raja fans come back

Was more a solitary listener of raja...but wanted to check the internet if atleast NEPV would appeal to people..
and god how much has it done..so thrilled

Want to write on the songs in detail...(although i donno anything technically..)

Nerd,

Even if he is from the so called ARR camp, is it not a great thing that he is openly praising Raja's album in a public forum? What insecurity do you find here?

Everybody is entitled to have their own views, right? Some may consider Raja the best and some may consider Rahman the best and some may consider both.

...Now, would Raaja please stand up and declare how long it took to complete each song in NPV?




Nevertheless, we can hope that this experience and the success should have made Raaja realise the potential he has going forward. More directors who were wary of signing up Raaja might flock to his doorstep now and he might end up returning to his old habit of doing 40 films a year. But that would be unwise and bad for his music. If, on the other hand, he signs fewer films and become choosy with the directors, we might expect some quality music from him in future. In any case, NPV will be a turning point in his career and the entire credit should go to Gautham Vasudev Menon.

I also wondered the same. How long would it have taken IR to compose these songs? When working with quality directors, IR's creation have always been nothing short of phenomenal. Hope he continues to work for better directors and chisel each & every song like a music-smith & package exquisitely. Aren't we so greedy? When it comes to quality music - I'm very greedy
